[Bieg]

Here is the Ty Cobb that was featured on Roadshow (Web Sized) The original files are 420mb Tiffs. EVERY card in the collection is photographed in this manner. We would be interested to know what you folks think this card is worth.

A comparable example (currently the highest graded) sold in 2009 for $3,346:

Today it would likely go for more, especially if it were to grade higher than PSA 5 (which I think it would).

Do you mean that the card that sold for $3,346 is the highest graded Ty Cobb portrait red American beauty back and hers might be better?

Exactly.
Although the previous example looks under-graded in my opinion.
The corners and centering look like they're stronger on hers, but the registration isn't.
In any case, with grading being subjective, you never know what'll happen.

Awesome!

One more question' she has an outstanding T205 Oakes, Rebel - Hassan Back which has "Rebel" misspelled as "Rehel" twice on the back. Is this a known error? I was unable to find it listed as such.

It's been pointed out in the past, but commands no premium because each advertisement reads "Rehel" on the reverse.

Now if she has a nice T205 Wilhelm with a Hassan back then that would be a highly sought after error card.

Thank you for your help. Does that error decrease the value? Other than the error it looks better (to me anyway) or as good as the one they say is the highest graded

I see your wife decided it was time to sell! I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the outcome and have picked a very respected auction house. Best of luck with the sale!

Rare back T206s are still doing well especially when coupled with Cobby. Great looking card.

110 year old cardboard. Unbelievable. Sat in a Cigar Box for over 100 years.
